My Tamrac Expedition 9 backpack is out of duty after 10 years of intensive use.
A new one is needed.
Mostly carried equipment in this backpack: 600mm II L, 100-400mm II, 5DIV, 7DII, 2 extender, 1-2(-3) smaller lenses (100mm macro,...), flash, Gitzo 5542, accessories. And some clothes and food.
This backpack is just used for one day phototrips, no longer hiking tours, and is often mounted on an small cart.
I crawled through the www and found some models:
Lowepro 650 pro trekker
and the F-Stop Sukha or the bigger Shinn.
The big plus of the F-Stops are the exchangeable ICUs (would buy the Telemaster and an smaller one if I need not so much equipment), but this backpack is more than twice the price of the Lowepro.
Do you have practical experience with one of these backpacks? Which one do you recommend or switch to another brand?
